MilitaryUpdateNews : Russian and Chinese Jets Will Be No Match for the F-35 after This Upgrade
Before Comment , please connect your tongue to your brain (Thumbnail : Foto Ilustration)
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters. The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air superiority missions. It has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the United States Marines declared ready for deployment the first squadron of F-35B fighters after intensive testing.[ On 2 August 2016, the U.S. AirForce declared its first squadron of F-35A fighters combat-ready
The F-35 descends from the X-35, the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. An aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin designed and manufactures it. Other major F-35 industry partners include Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems. The F-35 first flew on 15 December2006. The United States plans to buy 2,663 aircraft. Its variants are to provide the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and the Marine Corps over the coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled until 2037 with a projected service life up to 2070.
The United States principally funds the F-35 JSF development, with additional funding from partners. The partner nations are either NATO members or close U.S. allies. The United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Canada, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Turkey are part of the active development program;[15][16] several additional countries have ordered, or are considering ordering, the F-35.
The program is the most expensive military weapons system in history, and has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries. Critics argue that the plane is "plagued with design flaws", with many blaming the procurement process in which Lockheed was allowed "to design, test, and produce the F-35 all at the same time, instead of… [identifying and fixing] defects before firing up its production line". By 2014, the program was "$163 billion over budget [and] seven years behind schedule".[ Critics also contend that the program's high sunk costs and political momentum make it "too big to kill". F-35 development started in 1992 with the origins of the Joint Strike Fighter program and is set to culminate in full production in 2018.[20] The X-35 first flew on 24 October2000 and the F-35A on 15 December 2006. The F-35 was developed to replace most US fighter jets with variants of one design common to all branches of the military. It was developed in cooperation with a number of foreign partners, and unlike the F-22 Raptor, intended to be available for export. Three variants were designed: the F-35A (conventional take off and landing, CTOL), the F-35B (short-take off and vertical-landing, STOVL), and the F-35C (carrier-based CATOBAR, CV). Despite being intended to share most of their parts to reduce costs and improve maintenance logistics, by 2017 the design commonality was only 20%.[21] The program received considerable criticism for cost overruns during development and for the total projected cost of the program over the lifetime of the jets. By 2017 the program was expected over its lifetime (until 2070) to cost $406.5 billion for acquisition of the jets and $1.1 trillion for operations and maintenance.[22] A number of design deficiencies were alleged, such as carrying a small internal payload, inferior performance to the aircraft being replaced particularly the F-16, and the lack of safety in relying on a single engine, and flaws were noted such as vulnerability of the fuel tank to fire and the propensity for transonic roll-off (TRO or "wing drop"). The possible obsolescence of stealth technology was also criticized.

Alliance

An alliance is a relationship among people, groups, or states that have joined together for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose, whether or not explicit agreement has been worked out among them. Members of an alliance are called allies. Alliances form in many settings, including political alliances, military alliances, and business alliances. When the term is used in the context of war or armed struggle, such associations may also be called allied powers, especially when discussing World War I or World War II.

A formal military alliance is not required for being perceived as an ally—co-belligerence, fighting alongside someone, is enough. According to this usage, allies become so not when concluding an alliance treaty but when struck by war.

The United

The United (Arabic: المتحدين) is a 2012 film produced by Touchstone Pictures. It was conceived as Disney's first ever Arabic-language film, intended primarily for Middle Eastern audiences. Produced by Rachel Gandin, The United was directed by Amin Matalqa, written by Nizar Wattad, and features performances from Farouk Al-Fishawy, Waleed Zuaiter, Bosaina, and Amir Scandar. It was shot in and around Amman, Jordan in January 2011 by veteran cinematographer Ray Peschke, and edited by Debbie Berman. In addition to an original score by composer, Omar Fadel, the United also features a vocal collaboration between three of the Arab world's best known rappers, Omar Offendum, Deeb, and Salah Edin.

Synopsis

The film tells the story of a down-and-out Egyptian soccer coach, his former superstar player, and his determined granddaughter as they gather a team of the best youth soccer players from around the Arab world.

Release

As of October 2012, the release date of The United remained uncertain, due to ongoing instability in the Middle Eastern region.

WHY 108 F35S MAY NEVER BE COMBAT CAPABLE & 81 MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME FATE?

WHY 108 F35S MAY NEVER BE COMBAT CAPABLE & 81 MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME FATE?

WHY 108 F35S MAY NEVER BE COMBAT CAPABLE & 81 MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME FATE?

INTRODUCTION:
The newF-35 program executive officer, U.S. Navy vice admiral Mat Winter, said his office is exploring the option of leaving 108 aircraft in their current state because the funds to upgrade them to the fully combat-capable configuration would threaten the Air Force’s plans to ramp up production in the coming years.
These are most likely the same 108 aircraft the Air Force reportedly needed to upgrade earlier in 2017. Without being retrofitted, these aircraft would become “concurrency orphans” — airplanes left behind in the acquisition cycle after the services purchased them before finishing the development process.
Pentagon decided to overlap the development and testing of the program with the production. That overlap is what is known as concurrency.
In this video, DefenseUpdates analyses why 108 F35s may never be combat capable & 89 more may have the same fate?
CONCURRENCY MODEL ISSUES
The danger of purchasing hundreds of aircraft before a program produced a stable and fully tested design has been well known for years. Concurrency, as a RAND Corporation analyst explained in testimony before the House Committee on Government Reform on May 10, 2000, is rooted “in the politics of the acquisition process.”
As Project On Government Oversight (POGO) has pointed out before, this practice serves to limit the available political options for restructuring programs experiencing significant test failures or cost overruns. When the Pentagon makes substantial procurement commitments well before development or testing is complete, it severely increases the political costs of cancelling the program due to all the money already invested and all the jobs already created.
Dr. Michael Gilmore, the now-retired director of operational test and evaluation, warned that the services would likely have to send aircraft back to the maintenance depots for modification. The list of modifications is already quite extensive. The Air Force lists 213 change items in its 2018 budget request.
FATE OF MARINE CORPS F 35s
Left unsaid so far is what will become of the 81 F-35s purchased by the Marine Corps and Navy during that same period. If they are left in their current state, nearly 200 F-35s might permanently remain unready for combat because the Pentagon would rather buy new aircraft than upgrade the ones the American people have already paid for.
The MarineCorps controversially declared Initial Operational Capability with Block 2B aircraft in 2015. But this version is hardly ready for combat. The Pentagon’s testing office has repeatedly said that any pilots flying Block 2B F-35s who find themselves in a combat situation would “need to avoid threat engagement and would require augmentation by other friendly forces.”
In other words, the 108 Air Force F-35s in question, or any of the Block 2B aircraft, would need to run away from a fight and have other aircraft come to their rescue.
What makes this particularly galling is the aircraft that would be left behind by such a scheme were the most expensive F-35s purchased so far.
In total, Congress has authorized—and the Pentagon has spent—nearly $40 billion purchasing approximately 189 F-35s (108 for Airfare and 81 for Marine Corps) that, in their current configuration, will never be able to perform the way they were expected
COMBAT READINESS
With the current process, the services will have nearly 800 F-35s either on hand or in the manufacturing pipeline before the design is fully proven through testing under the current plans.
The first version expected to have full combat capabilities is Block 3F. This version has yet to be completed and is only expected to begin realistic combat testing next year in 2018.
RISING COST
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is the most expensive procurement program in Pentagon history. It’s been plagued by schedule delays, gross cost overruns, and a slew of underwhelming performance reviews.
It has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries.
The stealthy fighter jet’s costs have more than doubled from initial estimates.
The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin have been assuring s that the price tag for the F-35 is on its way down. Much of that effort was part of the campaign to convince Congress to approve the Economic Order Quantity, or multiple-year block buy of F-35 components.
They claimed that would lead to even more cost savings. But it’s difficult to be enthusiastic about the prospect of saving $2 billion when the program could potentially have wasted $40 billion.
On Dec. 12, 2016, the then president-elect Donald Trump asserted that F-35 unit cost was “out of control” through Twitter and he was absolutely right. It remains to be seen how he deals with the situation now.

The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air superiority missions. It has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the United States Marines declared ready for deployment the first squadron of F-35B fighters after intensive testing.[ On 2 August 2016, the U.S. AirForce declared its first squadron of F-35A fighters combat-ready
The F-35 descends from the X-35, the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. An aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin designed and manufactures it. Other major F-35 industry partners include Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems. The F-35 first flew on 15 December2006. The United States plans to buy 2,663 aircraft. Its variants are to provide the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and the Marine Corps over the coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled until 2037 with a projected service life up to 2070.
The United States principally funds the F-35 JSF development, with additional funding from partners. The partner nations are either NATO members or close U.S. allies. The United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Canada, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Turkey are part of the active development program;[15][16] several additional countries have ordered, or are considering ordering, the F-35.
The program is the most expensive military weapons system in history, and has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries. Critics argue that the plane is "plagued with design flaws", with many blaming the procurement process in which Lockheed was allowed "to design, test, and produce the F-35 all at the same time, instead of… [identifying and fixing] defects before firing up its production line". By 2014, the program was "$163 billion over budget [and] seven years behind schedule".[ Critics also contend that the program's high sunk costs and political momentum make it "too big to kill". F-35 development started in 1992 with the origins of the Joint Strike Fighter program and is set to culminate in full production in 2018.[20] The X-35 first flew on 24 October2000 and the F-35A on 15 December 2006. The F-35 was developed to replace most US fighter jets with variants of one design common to all branches of the military. It was developed in cooperation with a number of foreign partners, and unlike the F-22 Raptor, intended to be available for export. Three variants were designed: the F-35A (conventional take off and landing, CTOL), the F-35B (short-take off and vertical-landing, STOVL), and the F-35C (carrier-based CATOBAR, CV). Despite being intended to share most of their parts to reduce costs and improve maintenance logistics, by 2017 the design commonality was only 20%.[21] The program received considerable criticism for cost overruns during development and for the total projected cost of the program over the lifetime of the jets. By 2017 the program was expected over its lifetime (until 2070) to cost $406.5 billion for acquisition of the jets and $1.1 trillion for operations and maintenance.[22] A number of design deficiencies were alleged, such as carrying a small internal payload, inferior performance to the aircraft being replaced particularly the F-16, and the lack of safety in relying on a single engine, and flaws were noted such as vulnerability of the fuel tank to fire and the propensity for transonic roll-off (TRO or "wing drop"). The possible obsolescence of stealth technology was also criticized.

INTRODUCTION:
The newF-35 program executive officer, U.S. Navy vice admiral Mat Winter, said his office is exploring the option of leaving 108 aircraft in their current state because the funds to upgrade them to the fully combat-capable configuration would threaten the Air Force’s plans to ramp up production in the coming years.
These are most likely the same 108 aircraft the Air Force reportedly needed to upgrade earlier in 2017. Without being retrofitted, these aircraft would become “concurrency orphans” — airplanes left behind in the acquisition cycle after the services purchased them before finishing the development process.
Pentagon decided to overlap the development and testing of the program with the production. That overlap is what is known as concurrency.
In this video, DefenseUpdates analyses why 108 F35s may never be combat capable & 89 more may have the same fate?
CONCURRENCY MODEL ISSUES
The danger of purchasing hundreds of aircraft before a program produced a stable and fully tested design has been well known for years. Concurrency, as a RAND Corporation analyst explained in testimony before the House Committee on Government Reform on May 10, 2000, is rooted “in the politics of the acquisition process.”
As Project On Government Oversight (POGO) has pointed out before, this practice serves to limit the available political options for restructuring programs experiencing significant test failures or cost overruns. When the Pentagon makes substantial procurement commitments well before development or testing is complete, it severely increases the political costs of cancelling the program due to all the money already invested and all the jobs already created.
Dr. Michael Gilmore, the now-retired director of operational test and evaluation, warned that the services would likely have to send aircraft back to the maintenance depots for modification. The list of modifications is already quite extensive. The Air Force lists 213 change items in its 2018 budget request.
FATE OF MARINE CORPS F 35s
Left unsaid so far is what will become of the 81 F-35s purchased by the Marine Corps and Navy during that same period. If they are left in their current state, nearly 200 F-35s might permanently remain unready for combat because the Pentagon would rather buy new aircraft than upgrade the ones the American people have already paid for.
The MarineCorps controversially declared Initial Operational Capability with Block 2B aircraft in 2015. But this version is hardly ready for combat. The Pentagon’s testing office has repeatedly said that any pilots flying Block 2B F-35s who find themselves in a combat situation would “need to avoid threat engagement and would require augmentation by other friendly forces.”
In other words, the 108 Air Force F-35s in question, or any of the Block 2B aircraft, would need to run away from a fight and have other aircraft come to their rescue.
What makes this particularly galling is the aircraft that would be left behind by such a scheme were the most expensive F-35s purchased so far.
In total, Congress has authorized—and the Pentagon has spent—nearly $40 billion purchasing approximately 189 F-35s (108 for Airfare and 81 for Marine Corps) that, in their current configuration, will never be able to perform the way they were expected
COMBAT READINESS
With the current process, the services will have nearly 800 F-35s either on hand or in the manufacturing pipeline before the design is fully proven through testing under the current plans.
The first version expected to have full combat capabilities is Block 3F. This version has yet to be completed and is only expected to begin realistic combat testing next year in 2018.
RISING COST
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is the most expensive procurement program in Pentagon history. It’s been plagued by schedule delays, gross cost overruns, and a slew of underwhelming performance reviews.
It has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries.
The stealthy fighter jet’s costs have more than doubled from initial estimates.
The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin have been assuring s that the price tag for the F-35 is on its way down. Much of that effort was part of the campaign to convince Congress to approve the Economic Order Quantity, or multiple-year block buy of F-35 components.
They claimed that would lead to even more cost savings. But it’s difficult to be enthusiastic about the prospect of saving $2 billion when the program could potentially have wasted $40 billion.
On Dec. 12, 2016, the then president-elect Donald Trump asserted that F-35 unit cost was “out of control” through Twitter and he was absolutely right. It remains to be seen how he deals with the situation now.

Now we know the F-35 works with F-35 pilots conducting vertical take off and landing tests. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters. The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air superiority missions. It has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the United States Marines declared ready for deployment the first squadron of F-35B fighters after intensive testing.[9][10] On 2 August 2016, the U.S. AirForce declared its first squadron of F-35A fighters combat-ready.[11]
The F-35 descends from the X-35, the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. An aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin designed and manufactures it. Other major F-35 industry partners include Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems. The F-35 first flew on 15 December2006. The United States plans to buy 2,663 aircraft. Its variants are to provide the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and the Marine Corps over the coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled until 2037[12] with a projected service life up to 2070.[13]
The United States principally funds the F-35 JSF development, with additional funding from partners. The partner nations are either NATO members or close U.S. allies. The United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Canada, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Turkey are part of the active development program;[14][15] several additional countries have ordered, or are considering ordering, the F-35.
The program is the most expensive military weapons system in history, and has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries.[16] Critics argue that the plane is "plagued with design flaws", with many blaming the procurement process in which Lockheed was allowed "to design, test, and produce the F-35 all at the same time, instead of… [identifying and fixing] defects before firing up its production line".[16] By 2014, the program was "$163 billion over budget [and] seven years behind schedule".[17] Critics also contend that the program's high sunk costs and political momentum make it "too big to kill".[18]

2. Introductory Lecture

MoralFoundations of Politics (PLSC 118)
The trial of Adolf Eichmann, as presented in Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, is the topic of discussion. Professor Shapiro asks students what made them uncomfortable, not only about Eichmann's actions as a Nazi officer, but also the actions of Israel in capturing, extraditing, trying, and executing him. This begs the questions, what makes a government legitimate? And more specifically, was the Third Reich illegitimate and was Eichmann breaking some kind of higher law? After class discussion, Professor Shapiro frames the five traditions that were introduced in the previous class as ways to answer this question of governmental legitimacy, and introduces John Locke, the topic of the next lecture, as a backdrop for these traditions.

I. Data Protection
1. The Constitution of India acknowledges right to privacy as one of the important fundamental rights and is envisaged in Article 21 [Right to life and personal liberty]. In the era of technology, with the rapid use of internet and transfer of various information/data through cloud technologies, data privacy and protection have attracted greater attention of the law makers in India.
2. Thus, the concepts of data protection and date privacy have been acknowledged and introduced in the Information Technology Act, 2002.
3. As per Section 2(1)(o) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (“IT Act”) , data is the representation of:
• information, knowledge, facts, concepts or instructions
• which are being prepared in a formalized manner,
• is intended to be processed/ being processed in a computer system or computer network, and
• May be in any form (including computer printouts magnetic or optical storage media, punched cards, punched tapes) or stored internally in the memory of the computer.
4. As per Section 2(1)(v) of the IT Act, information includes the following:
• Message;
• Text;
• Images;
• Sound;
• Data;
• Voice , codes, Computer programmes, software and data bases or micro film or computer generated micro fiche.
5. Legislations recognizing data protection in India:
II. E-Contracts:
1. Indian Contract Act, 1872 governs the manner of execution of contracts in India.
2. Section10A of the IT Act recognizes the validity of e-contracts.
3. Digital signature (which is the encryption of an electronic document using a private key) performs three important functions in order to ensure the security of the system and genuineness of the transaction.
4. There are three types of e-contracts: Browse wrap, shrink wrap, click wrap. The validity of shrink wrap agreements first came up for consideration in ProCd, Inc v. Zeidenburg, where it was held that “the very fact that purchaser after reading the terms of the license featured outside the wrap license opens the cover coupled with the fact that he accepts the whole terms of the license that appears on the screen by a key stroke, constitutes an acceptance of the terms by conduct”.
5. Challenges in e-contracts:
a. There is no room for negotiation between the parties since the procurement of consent is done through a standard form of contract.
b. Since these contracts are adhesion contracts, there are no option to bargain on the terms.
c. In CentralInlandWater CorporationLimited Vs Brojo Nath Ganguly and Anr., the Supreme Court observed that the more standardized the agreement and the less a party could bargain meaningfully, the contracts are more susceptible to be unreasonable.
d. Stamping of e-contract: As per the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 , no instrument will be permitted to be submitted as evidence in a court of law in India unless it is duly stamped. Though certain legislations such as the BombayStamp Act, 1958 had included 'electronic records' into the definition of the term instrument, a mere instrument does not become subject to stamp duty.
As per various judicial pronouncements, a document which is not signed is not liable to stamp duty. However, since click wrap agreements are executed just by mere clicking of “I agree” tab instead of affixing digital signature, such agreements are not 'instrument‘ which are liable to stamp duty . Thus, such agreements may not be permitted to be submitted as evidence in Indian courts.
6. Jurisdiction of Courts in e-contracts:
In World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. v. ReshmaCollection, the Delhi High Court stated that in a e-transaction, the acceptance by the operator of the website is instantaneously communicated to its customer through the internet at the Customers' State. In such a case, part of the cause of action would arise at the customer’s State also.

Please join the Center for Strategic and International Studies for a day long conference examining the ThirdOffsetStrategy. The U.S. faces a global security environment in which its traditional conventional military advantage is eroding. Over the past thirty years, revolutions in networks and precision weapons cemented U.S. conventional dominance. The Third Offset Strategy is a Department of Defense initiative that seeks to identify the next generation of concepts and capabilities necessary to guarantee U.S. military superiority in the coming decades.
The conference will feature remarks from SecretaryCarter, Deputy Secretary Work, and other US government officials, together with allied and non-governmental experts. The proceedings will address the global context for the Third Offset Strategy, its focus and progress, and its challenges.

Using dramatic reenactments, this Cold War-era U.S. AirForce training film teaches American airmen how to evade capture and make their way home out of hostile territory after being shot down from their aircraft. All the capture evasion skills learned during World War 2 are put to good use, along with lessons learned by the CIA on how to operate in Eastern Europe. The film was shot in a Hollywood "film noire" espionage adventure style and was released in circa 1957*.
Plot:
A B-29 Superfortress is shot down during an air raid mission, far behind enemy lines. The crew is separated during bail out into small groups. What follows are a series of lessons on what to do - and not to do - to evade capture and make it back to friendly territory. Just a few of the many things you will learn are: evading blood hounds, what to wear - and not to wear - to blend in with the locals, traveling inconspicuously by day and night, identifying civilians most likely to help you make contact with the underground, what to expect from the resistance and how to deal with them, crossing roads and exposed spaces, using misdirection, diversion and bluffing, crossing heavily guarded boarders - and a whole lot more! Some of the crew make it back, while others don't, all told in a very dramatic and engaging feature film.
* The date (MCMXLVII / 1947) on the emblem of the U.S. Air Force at the beginning of the film refers to the date of the establishment of the U.S. Air Force (when the U.S. ArmyAir Forces became the U.S. Air Force) and not to the release date of the movie. This crest will never have another date on it.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) is a program, best known by its military acronym, that provides U.S. military personnel, U.S.Department of Defense civilians, and private military contractors with training in evading capture, survival skills, and the military code of conduct. Established by the U.S. Air Force at the end of World War 2, it was extended and consolidated during the Vietnam War (1959-1975) to the U.S. MarineCorps, and U.S. Navy and in the late 1980s to the U.S. Army. Most higher level SERE students are Military Aircrew and Special Operations personnel considered to be at high risk of capture.
Based on the experiences of the British and American Pilots who managed to escape and evade from the Germans during World War 2, and return to friendly lines, several private "clubs" were created during World War 2. One such club was the "LateReturnersClub". This club which had a "FlyingBoot" as its identifying symbol, was strictly non-military. However, under the left collar, of his uniform, the individual who had successfully escaped and/or evaded the enemy pinned the "Flying Boot" and although everyone knew it was not official, they didn't question its wear. The experiences of these Evaders was passed on in lectures, guest appearances, and small regional specific training programs by the US Army Air Corps and in British military programs. Consolidation into a formal (then called "Survival") program of instruction came in 1943. Under the direction of GeneralCurtis LeMay it was realized that it was much cheaper and more effective to train Aircrews in Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape techniques, than to have them languishing in enemy hands. He was responsible for the establishment of SERE training at several bases/locations.
Most SERE training focuses on survival and evasion. Skills taught include Woodcraft and Wilderness Survival including Firecraft, Sheltercraft, Traps and Snares, Food & Water Procurement, Preservation and Purifying, Improvised Equipment, and also specific equipment and techniques of Rescue Sciences such as Signaling, Navigation, RouteSelection, EmergencyFirst Aid (a variant of the battlefield variety), Camouflage techniques, methods of Evasion, and CommunicationProtocols, in all types of climate and terrain. Training on how to survive and resist the enemy in the event of capture is largely based on the experiences of past U.S. prisoners of war.

Warlords, soldiers, and child laborers all toil over a mineral you've never even heard of. Coltan is a conflict mineral in nearly every cell phone, laptop, and electronic device. It's also tied to the deaths of over 5 million people in Congo since 1990.

ExtraMural Lecture by Dr. Geeta Gouri, Member of the Competition Commission of India, on the topic "Competition Act (2002), the Competition Commission and Making Markets Work Effectively". The lecture was organised on Sunday, 27th January at IC&SR MainAuditorium.
The CCI is a body of the Government of India responsible for the enforcement of the Competition Act, 2002. The CCI thus aims to prevent anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position by enterprises and regulates combinations (acquisition, acquiring of control and mergers and acquisitions), which are likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition within India. In order to facilitate the objective of economic development of the nation, the CCI promotes economic efficiency using competition as one of the means of assisting the creation of market responsive to consumer preferences. Given this mission, the Commission imposed a fine of Rs. 6307 crore on 11 cement companies for cartelization (earning illegal profits by fixing prices and distorting competition), in June 2012. As such, Dr. Gouri as part of the CCI plays a crucial role in regulating the Indian economy so that growth is pursued in a manner that is fair and democratic.

MilitaryUpdateNews : Russian and Chinese Jets Will Be No Match for the F-35 after This Upgrade
Before Comment , please connect your tongue to your brain (Thumbnail : Foto Ilustration)
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters. The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air superiority missions. It has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the United States Marines declared ready for deployment the first squadron of F-35B fighters after intensive testing.[ On 2 August 2016, the U.S. AirForce declared its first squadron of F-35A fighters combat-ready
The F-35 descends from the X-35, the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. An aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin designed and manufactures it. Other major F-35 industry partners include Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems. The F-35 first flew on 15 December2006. The United States plans to buy 2,663 aircraft. Its variants are to provide the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and the Marine Corps over the coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled until 2037 with a projected service life up to 2070.
The United States principally funds the F-35 JSF development, with additional funding from partners. The partner nations are either NATO members or close U.S. allies. The United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Canada, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Turkey are part of the active development program;[15][16] several additional countries have ordered, or are considering ordering, the F-35.
The program is the most expensive military weapons system in history, and has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries. Critics argue that the plane is "plagued with design flaws", with many blaming the procurement process in which Lockheed was allowed "to design, test, and produce the F-35 all at the same time, instead of… [identifying and fixing] defects before firing up its production line". By 2014, the program was "$163 billion over budget [and] seven years behind schedule".[ Critics also contend that the program's high sunk costs and political momentum make it "too big to kill". F-35 development started in 1992 with the origins of the Joint Strike Fighter program and is set to culminate in full production in 2018.[20] The X-35 first flew on 24 October2000 and the F-35A on 15 December 2006. The F-35 was developed to replace most US fighter jets with variants of one design common to all branches of the military. It was developed in cooperation with a number of foreign partners, and unlike the F-22 Raptor, intended to be available for export. Three variants were designed: the F-35A (conventional take off and landing, CTOL), the F-35B (short-take off and vertical-landing, STOVL), and the F-35C (carrier-based CATOBAR, CV). Despite being intended to share most of their parts to reduce costs and improve maintenance logistics, by 2017 the design commonality was only 20%.[21] The program received considerable criticism for cost overruns during development and for the total projected cost of the program over the lifetime of the jets. By 2017 the program was expected over its lifetime (until 2070) to cost $406.5 billion for acquisition of the jets and $1.1 trillion for operations and maintenance.[22] A number of design deficiencies were alleged, such as carrying a small internal payload, inferior performance to the aircraft being replaced particularly the F-16, and the lack of safety in relying on a single engine, and flaws were noted such as vulnerability of the fuel tank to fire and the propensity for transonic roll-off (TRO or "wing drop"). The possible obsolescence of stealth technology was also criticized.

WHY 108 F35S MAY NEVER BE COMBAT CAPABLE & 81 MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME FATE?

WHY 108 F35S MAY NEVER BE COMBAT CAPABLE & 81 MORE MAY HAVE THE SAME FATE?

INTRODUCTION:
The newF-35 program executive officer, U.S. Navy vice admiral Mat Winter, said his office is exploring the option of leaving 108 aircraft in their current state because the funds to upgrade them to the fully combat-capable configuration would threaten the Air Force’s plans to ramp up production in the coming years.
These are most likely the same 108 aircraft the Air Force reportedly needed to upgrade earlier in 2017. Without being retrofitted, these aircraft would become “concurrency orphans” — airplanes left behind in the acquisition cycle after the services purchased them before finishing the development process.
Pentagon decided to overlap the development and testing of the program with the production. That overlap is what is known as concurrency.
In this video, DefenseUpdates analyses why 108 F35s may never be combat capable & 89 more may have the same fate?
CONCURRENCY MODEL ISSUES
The danger of purchasing hundreds of aircraft before a program produced a stable and fully tested design has been well known for years. Concurrency, as a RAND Corporation analyst explained in testimony before the House Committee on Government Reform on May 10, 2000, is rooted “in the politics of the acquisition process.”
As Project On Government Oversight (POGO) has pointed out before, this practice serves to limit the available political options for restructuring programs experiencing significant test failures or cost overruns. When the Pentagon makes substantial procurement commitments well before development or testing is complete, it severely increases the political costs of cancelling the program due to all the money already invested and all the jobs already created.
Dr. Michael Gilmore, the now-retired director of operational test and evaluation, warned that the services would likely have to send aircraft back to the maintenance depots for modification. The list of modifications is already quite extensive. The Air Force lists 213 change items in its 2018 budget request.
FATE OF MARINE CORPS F 35s
Left unsaid so far is what will become of the 81 F-35s purchased by the Marine Corps and Navy during that same period. If they are left in their current state, nearly 200 F-35s might permanently remain unready for combat because the Pentagon would rather buy new aircraft than upgrade the ones the American people have already paid for.
The MarineCorps controversially declared Initial Operational Capability with Block 2B aircraft in 2015. But this version is hardly ready for combat. The Pentagon’s testing office has repeatedly said that any pilots flying Block 2B F-35s who find themselves in a combat situation would “need to avoid threat engagement and would require augmentation by other friendly forces.”
In other words, the 108 Air Force F-35s in question, or any of the Block 2B aircraft, would need to run away from a fight and have other aircraft come to their rescue.
What makes this particularly galling is the aircraft that would be left behind by such a scheme were the most expensive F-35s purchased so far.
In total, Congress has authorized—and the Pentagon has spent—nearly $40 billion purchasing approximately 189 F-35s (108 for Airfare and 81 for Marine Corps) that, in their current configuration, will never be able to perform the way they were expected
COMBAT READINESS
With the current process, the services will have nearly 800 F-35s either on hand or in the manufacturing pipeline before the design is fully proven through testing under the current plans.
The first version expected to have full combat capabilities is Block 3F. This version has yet to be completed and is only expected to begin realistic combat testing next year in 2018.
RISING COST
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is the most expensive procurement program in Pentagon history. It’s been plagued by schedule delays, gross cost overruns, and a slew of underwhelming performance reviews.
It has been much criticized inside and outside government, in the U.S. and in allied countries.
The stealthy fighter jet’s costs have more than doubled from initial estimates.
The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin have been assuring s that the price tag for the F-35 is on its way down. Much of that effort was part of the campaign to convince Congress to approve the Economic Order Quantity, or multiple-year block buy of F-35 components.
They claimed that would lead to even more cost savings. But it’s difficult to be enthusiastic about the prospect of saving $2 billion when the program could potentially have wasted $40 billion.
On Dec. 12, 2016, the then president-elect Donald Trump asserted that F-35 unit cost was “out of control” through Twitter and he was absolutely right. It remains to be seen how he deals with the situation now.

Alliance

An alliance is a relationship among people, groups, or states that have joined together for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose, whether or not explicit agreement has been worked out among them. Members of an alliance are called allies. Alliances form in many settings, including political alliances, military alliances, and business alliances. When the term is used in the context of war or armed struggle, such associations may also be called allied powers, especially when discussing World War I or World War II.

A formal military alliance is not required for being perceived as an ally—co-belligerence, fighting alongside someone, is enough. According to this usage, allies become so not when concluding an alliance treaty but when struck by war.

Under the order a vendor must certify in writing, when a bid is submitted or when a procurement contract is awarded, that ... “Israel is America’s closest ally in the Middle East and a beacon of democracy in the region,” Edwards said in a statement ... now a critical mass of states in supporting our closest ally.”....

Data Protection in India and other Allied Issues

I. Data Protection
1. The Constitution of India acknowledges right to privacy as one of the important fundamental rights and is envisaged in Article 21 [Right to life and personal liberty]. In the era of technology, with the rapid use of internet and transfer of various information/data through cloud technologies, data privacy and protection have attracted greater attention of the law makers in India.
2. Thus, the concepts of data protection and date privacy have been acknowledged and introduced in the Information Technology Act, 2002.
3. As per Section 2(1)(o) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (“IT Act”) , data is the representation of:
• information, knowledge, facts, concepts or instructions
• which are being prepared in a formalized manner,
• is intended to be processed/ being processed in a computer system or computer network, and
• May be in any form (including computer printouts magnetic or optical storage media, punched cards, punched tapes) or stored internally in the memory of the computer.
4. As per Section 2(1)(v) of the IT Act, information includes the following:
• Message;
• Text;
• Images;
• Sound;
• Data;
• Voice , codes, Computer programmes, software and data bases or micro film or computer generated micro fiche.
5. Legislations recognizing data protection in India:
II. E-Contracts:
1. Indian Contract Act, 1872 governs the manner of execution of contracts in India.
2. Section10A of the IT Act recognizes the validity of e-contracts.
3. Digital signature (which is the encryption of an electronic document using a private key) performs three important functions in order to ensure the security of the system and genuineness of the transaction.
4. There are three types of e-contracts: Browse wrap, shrink wrap, click wrap. The validity of shrink wrap agreements first came up for consideration in ProCd, Inc v. Zeidenburg, where it was held that “the very fact that purchaser after reading the terms of the license featured outside the wrap license opens the cover coupled with the fact that he accepts the whole terms of the license that appears on the screen by a key stroke, constitutes an acceptance of the terms by conduct”.
5. Challenges in e-contracts:
a. There is no room for negotiation between the parties since the procurement of consent is done through a standard form of contract.
b. Since these contracts are adhesion contracts, there are no option to bargain on the terms.
c. In CentralInlandWater CorporationLimited Vs Brojo Nath Ganguly and Anr., the Supreme Court observed that the more standardized the agreement and the less a party could bargain meaningfully, the contracts are more susceptible to be unreasonable.
d. Stamping of e-contract: As per the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 , no instrument will be permitted to be submitted as evidence in a court of law in India unless it is duly stamped. Though certain legislations such as the BombayStamp Act, 1958 had included 'electronic records' into the definition of the term instrument, a mere instrument does not become subject to stamp duty.
As per various judicial pronouncements, a document which is not signed is not liable to stamp duty. However, since click wrap agreements are executed just by mere clicking of “I agree” tab instead of affixing digital signature, such agreements are not 'instrument‘ which are liable to stamp duty . Thus, such agreements may not be permitted to be submitted as evidence in Indian courts.
6. Jurisdiction of Courts in e-contracts:
In World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. v. ReshmaCollection, the Delhi High Court stated that in a e-transaction, the acceptance by the operator of the website is instantaneously communicated to its customer through the internet at the Customers' State. In such a case, part of the cause of action would arise at the customer’s State also.

Part I: Defining the Offset Strategy

Please join the Center for Strategic and International Studies for a day long conference examining the ThirdOffsetStrategy. The U.S. faces a global security environment in which its traditional conventional military advantage is eroding. Over the past thirty years, revolutions in networks and precision weapons cemented U.S. conventional dominance. The Third Offset Strategy is a Department of Defense initiative that seeks to identify the next generation of concepts and capabilities necessary to guarantee U.S. military superiority in the coming decades.
The conference will feature remarks from SecretaryCarter, Deputy Secretary Work, and other US government officials, together with allied and non-governmental experts. The proceedings will address the global context for the Third Offset Strategy, its focus and progress, and its challenges.

Using dramatic reenactments, this Cold War-era U.S. AirForce training film teaches American airmen how to evade capture and make their way home out of hostile territory after being shot down from their aircraft. All the capture evasion skills learned during World War 2 are put to good use, along with lessons learned by the CIA on how to operate in Eastern Europe. The film was shot in a Hollywood "film noire" espionage adventure style and was released in circa 1957*.
Plot:
A B-29 Superfortress is shot down during an air raid mission, far behind enemy lines. The crew is separated during bail out into small groups. What follows are a series of lessons on what to do - and not to do - to evade capture and make it back to friendly territory. Just a few of the many things you will learn are: evading blood hounds, what to wear - and not to wear - to blend in with the locals, traveling inconspicuously by day and night, identifying civilians most likely to help you make contact with the underground, what to expect from the resistance and how to deal with them, crossing roads and exposed spaces, using misdirection, diversion and bluffing, crossing heavily guarded boarders - and a whole lot more! Some of the crew make it back, while others don't, all told in a very dramatic and engaging feature film.
* The date (MCMXLVII / 1947) on the emblem of the U.S. Air Force at the beginning of the film refers to the date of the establishment of the U.S. Air Force (when the U.S. ArmyAir Forces became the U.S. Air Force) and not to the release date of the movie. This crest will never have another date on it.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) is a program, best known by its military acronym, that provides U.S. military personnel, U.S.Department of Defense civilians, and private military contractors with training in evading capture, survival skills, and the military code of conduct. Established by the U.S. Air Force at the end of World War 2, it was extended and consolidated during the Vietnam War (1959-1975) to the U.S. MarineCorps, and U.S. Navy and in the late 1980s to the U.S. Army. Most higher level SERE students are Military Aircrew and Special Operations personnel considered to be at high risk of capture.
Based on the experiences of the British and American Pilots who managed to escape and evade from the Germans during World War 2, and return to friendly lines, several private "clubs" were created during World War 2. One such club was the "LateReturnersClub". This club which had a "FlyingBoot" as its identifying symbol, was strictly non-military. However, under the left collar, of his uniform, the individual who had successfully escaped and/or evaded the enemy pinned the "Flying Boot" and although everyone knew it was not official, they didn't question its wear. The experiences of these Evaders was passed on in lectures, guest appearances, and small regional specific training programs by the US Army Air Corps and in British military programs. Consolidation into a formal (then called "Survival") program of instruction came in 1943. Under the direction of GeneralCurtis LeMay it was realized that it was much cheaper and more effective to train Aircrews in Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape techniques, than to have them languishing in enemy hands. He was responsible for the establishment of SERE training at several bases/locations.
Most SERE training focuses on survival and evasion. Skills taught include Woodcraft and Wilderness Survival including Firecraft, Sheltercraft, Traps and Snares, Food & Water Procurement, Preservation and Purifying, Improvised Equipment, and also specific equipment and techniques of Rescue Sciences such as Signaling, Navigation, RouteSelection, EmergencyFirst Aid (a variant of the battlefield variety), Camouflage techniques, methods of Evasion, and CommunicationProtocols, in all types of climate and terrain. Training on how to survive and resist the enemy in the event of capture is largely based on the experiences of past U.S. prisoners of war.
